Sale cheat-sheet...

chrisandjaymommy · 11-16-2007, 10:53 PM

Stores often list prices as "5 for $10" or "3 for $8" instead of listing the price. I find it helpful to read the grocery ads with my cheat-sheet nearby so that I can keep the real price in mind when I shop.

Here are some sale "prices" converted to the price for one item.
I wrote this list to be looked up by quantity listed so 3/$1 means "3 for $1"

Ad

2/$1 = $0.50
2/$2 = $1
2/$3 = $1.50
2/$4 = $2
2/$5 = $2.50
2/$6 = $3
2/$7 = $3.50
2/$8 = $4
2/$9 = $4.50
2$10 = $5

3/$1 = $0.33
3/$2 = $0.66
3/$4 = $1.34
3/$5 = $1.66
3/$6 = $2
3/$7 = $2.33
3/$8 = $2.67
3/$9 = 3
3/$10 = $3.33

4/$1 = $0.25
4/$2 = $0.50
4/$3 = $0.75
4/$5 = $1.25
4/$6 = $1.50
4/$7 = $1.75
4/$8 = $2
4/$9 = $2.25
4/$10 = $2.50

5/$1 = $0.20
5/$2 = $0.40
5/$3 = $0.60
5/$4 = $0.80
5/$6 = $1.20
5/$7 = $1.40
5/$8 = $1.60
5/$9 = $1.80
5/$10 =$2

6/$1 = $0.17
6/$2 = $0.33
6/$3 = $0.50
6/$4 = $0.67
6/$5 = $0.83
6/$7 = $1.17
6/$8 = $1.33
6/$9 = $1.50
6/$10 =$1.67

7/$1 = $0.14
7/$2 = $0.29
7/$3 = $0.43
7/$4 = $0.57
7/$5 = $0.71
7/$6 = $0.86
7/$8 = $1.14
7/$9 = $1.29
7/$10 =$1.43

As a math teacher, I think this is sad...jk. lol. It is funny though. I always compare math problems to sales, discounts, and shopping with my eighth graders.
